Motion-controlled iPod interface

Mind controlled interfaces are not so far from being used in things like iPod accessories. Essentially, the way it's working is that you wear a headband with a few electrodes in them. You take this electric signal, amplify it, remove noise and then feed the signal into an electronic neural network. It may have to be trained so your brain associate nerves activity with the resulting commands, but they could ship it with pre-trained neural nets. I remember seeing such devices to control cursors on a computer, and even controlling PS1 and n64 games. I remember at the time these were pricey, something like $900. I think those may reach an affordable price in the next few years, and that a mind controlled iPod add-on could be sold today for around $200-300.

ܢer-geeky :)

or a much easier option is just to get an RF-based remote and keep it in ur glove....

I always have trouble with gloves. Go Peter!!

my iPod came with a 'remote'. They still make them, right? Good old 3G!

Im still waiting for the Mind controlled ipod interface. but thanks!

"or have trouble with fine motor movement" The trouble I see if I were to use this, because I have trouble with fine motor skills, is that I'd probably end up confusing the iPod because I'd end up sending out something like 50 commands to the iPod at once! LMAO Hey, if you can't laugh at yourself, you have no right to laugh at others. And you all are too funny not to be laughed at! =)

you know how ridiculous you would look by making sudden random hand gestures in the subway? fellow ny'ers will think you're one of the crazies.
